"Come and find me two years ago ..."
Six words that have thrown the hockey playing tomboy Arizona in an alternate dimension.
Suddenly, she lives the life of an idolized cheerleader. She is from the happy life with her father pulled and pushed into a new, unknown life with her mother hated.
All they know as Arizona Darley, but she is not. She is Arizona Stevens.
While she tries to find answers for them are fixed only two things: that her mother Olivia is responsible for everything somehow - and that she needs to reclaim her old life.
Until she meets Kellan ...
Your Review:
I read the book as an ebook on my Reader. If I had seen the book in the store, it would probably have ended up in my shopping basket, because I think the cover and the synopsis very appealing.
So exciting the blurb reads, as well as I found the book, which I devoured in one day. Like quite a few others have noted, the whole story seems a bit confused at first - but I'm actually used to from time-travel novels. As the story becomes clear much more work is also open and clear. Presumably, one learns about these issues more in the future.
I can understand Arizona's turmoil well, on the one hand it is the wild Arizona Stevens, on the other hand, the love Arizona Darley.Arizona does not know what happened to her, because in a moment it grew into her father's car, and the next moment she wakes up with a totally different life history on the car of their hated mother.Suddenly she is not a tomboy but a more popular cheerleader - a cliché, which she wanted to meet himself never a living Barbie. And what's worse, she has alleged. Another father and has good mother, little sister and the additional half-brother (who is surprisingly older than she) from
Arizona tries to figure out how this fall could come in another life condition. It receives support from her best friend from the other life - which, surprisingly, is also reminiscent of their other existence.
It soon becomes clear that this is a big secret project was started because her mother has found her true love. The impact of Arizona are fatal, because she feels a stranger in this new world for them - unfortunately, the action does not appear to work perfectly, as Arizona Darley should be remembered in any case in Arizona Stevens. How could that happen? How will decide Arizona? Will she return to her life as Arizona Stevens or stay with her "new family"?In both cases, it has a lot to lose.
I would prefer more direct, because I would absolutely know how it goes with Arizona, her family and friends.
If you time travel narratives, stories Do you like to parallel universes, I can recommend portal. From me receives the book full marks, because I love it when a book captivates me so much that I want to read it right in one go. This was the case for portal I gladly sacrificed a day off and I crawled into the apartment on the couch.
A big thank you for the provided ebook to Imogen Rose and Alli Potter! It was great fun to participate in the blog tour.
And what's next?
Well, I hope that the other parts of the Portal Chronicles will also appear soon in German, forthcoming in English is already the fifth part published.
The previous books:
- Portal (English, German)
- Equilibrium (English)
- Quantum (English)
- Momentum (English)
- Fusion (to be published)
Here there is the book / ebook that:

Until she meets Kellan ...
Until she meets Kellan ...
"PORTAL" is the 1st Book in the series "The Portal Chronicles".
First Sentence:
Olivia looked up at the sky and saw a shooting star.
My opinion:
Just she was Arizona Stevens, a Eishokey gambling, stubborn teenager who lives with her father, her mother can not stand and everything else than to a Cheerleader Barbie. But that's what it is all at once, rather than in her father's car, which they collect from the SAT's in the car with her not just in Arizona wakes popular mother and her little sister.
Sound exciting? - It is.
It is right at the beginning, along with the protagonist Arziona almost catapulted into her new life, which is not only for them very confusing. Quickly, I had umpteen questions in mind. Why? Where? Why? How? And especially when?
Properly so found in the book, and I felt comfortable with me. After about 100 pages But from there I really like except for a few things well. The protagonist always feels comfortable in your "new" skin which is not least to Kellan, with whom she has fallen in love. In the meantime, you forget that it's about to learn why the protagonist is in this "dimension (?)" Landed. Because there's so much in her life that would have liked the book even without the time travel effect.
Sent the author Imogen Rose aired by the ever-changing narrative perspective of Arizona and her mother Olivia increasingly Gehemnisse.
But at this point I have to be honest. How exactly does it work with the portal, and why, who, how, where, when there is where he is now, I have not really understood until the last page. I do not know if I simply do not understand, or if it is planned by the author to continue to be looking forward to the next volumes.
If the second be the case, then she has succeeded with me in any case. Because I'm (published in the U.S. under the title: Equilibrium) really curious about the continuation of the Portal Chronicles.
The end is no common cliffhanger, but still does not least because of the many open questions wanting more.
Conclusion:
A great introduction to wanting more.

An excerpt from an interview with the author:
You hear from your readers? What questions are asked?
I'm lucky enough to hear almost daily from readers. Mostly I am asked for the release dates of new books, or in the order in which they should read my books.
What did you want to be a child again?
Most people believe that now I'm a movie star or model, but I wanted to be a racing driver.
What do you do when you have writer's block?
The only time when I had writer's block, was when I had sat down to plan my newest book (integration). It took only a few minutes and was a frightening experience. It was like having to have all my characters suddenly hidden from me. I usually find it easy, just letting it take over the command, what they always do, except for this one time
What is your favorite book and why?
My most recent book is still my favorite book because I always cease at a point where I really want to start again. The characters are so present in my mind that I myself live practically. A few days ago I was shocked by how it goes with Cordelia, and can hardly wait to find out more. Apart from that I have in my heart a special place for the "Portal Chronicles" because this story to me and the person I am, comes very close.
In which everyday activities, you have the most ideas for action structures and applications? I mean, there is a common situation that stimulates their imagination more than any other?
Yes ... I'm going to either half asleep, just before I get up in the morning, or I'm in the shower.
So and to last there is of course to win something too. So I say goodbye, you say to Ali Potter that I could make on the blog tour and to give from my blogger friend Melli , which makes the final morning of the blog tour.

Content:
Come and find me two years ago .. Six words that have thrown the hockey playing tomboy Arizona in an alternate dimension. Suddenly, she lives the life of an idolized cheerleader. She is from the happy life with her father pulled and pushed into a new, unknown life with her mother hated. All they know as Arizona Darley, but she is not. She is Arizona Stevens. While she tries to find answers for them are fixed only two things: that her mother Olivia is responsible for everything somehow - and that she needs to reclaim her old life. Until she meets Kellan ...
My opinion:
Portal has convinced me immediately. The story is completely different from other time-travel stories. The idea behind it fascinates me still. Is it possible to send people through the ages? This seems to be happening Arizona. Because her life was so far .. well let's say-so. She lives with your dad, the relationship with the mother is not the best, her little sister does not see them often, but in high school she is an absolute hockey star. She wakes up one day with her mother and her sister in another car, and their absence memories ... and suddenly she leads a very different life ... Something is not right. Luckily you are still a few old friends. But that does not seem to be what they once were.
Imogen Rose starts the same story with this confusion. The writing style is fluid and easy to read. I had gone through the book in one day because I was so absorbed in the story. The chapters jump sometimes in their narrative perspective, it is always someone else that reflects his view of things. This one always gets back to another point of view, and other information that are important for the course of history.
Arizona is an absolutely charming character ... how they deal with others, and also how she behaves I really liked. Her brother Harry is absolutely cute, but I was most impressed at Kellan. I can understand that Arizona is in love with him would be, I probably also happens in their place ... J
The cover I like it, although a bit .. well, intergalactic acts. After reading the story, but we understand why the blonde girl is pictured with the Moon
In short, a very exciting start for a new series. The second part of the series in deutsh appear next year. This year for Christmas, there are five in the original part. I think I'll probably have to read a little bit foreign language, because I am absolutely excited pointing going on, because the end is a large mega cliffhanger .. L
Here before folding the text and the new cover, (suits itself very well to the first, or? )
It's not every day that one sees a naked body on the roadside ...
This strange sight is only the beginning of a puzzle that will capture two dimensions.
As the California teen Arizona Darley and her siblings disappear, finds her mother, Dr. Olivia Darley out that someone has brought it developed time travel portal under his control.
Is the same person responsible for the disappearance of their children?They have been transported to another dimension? If true, the police and the FBI track it never can be, and Olivia Darley must find a way to save their own children.
As you will succeed without access to the portal?
Conclusion:
Absolutely worth reading. Many thanks to Alli Potter and Imogen Rose for this fantastic adventure with Arizona! I'M really looking forward to the next one, maybe I will read it in English first, because I'm soooo unpatient. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to read this novel!

An Interview with Imogen Rose
Could you tell us a little about yourself once.
I am a scientist, mother, and a dreamer. I was born in Sweden, Oskarshamn, a small town in Sweden. After I Grease had seen, I began to have a crush on John Travolta and the United States. I thought it would be great to study in the United States, and that's about it.There I have not found my JT, but strangely, a red-haired Scot, I married and with whom I moved to Scotland. Then I moved to London, got my degree and have a child, and then I moved to New Jersey, in the land of Housewives and Snooki . A girl could wish for something better?
What inspired you to write portal?
I've always been a storyteller (probably most parents) and have devised bedtime stories and other fantasy worlds to entertain my children (I have always acted as if the scales of the neighbors live a hippo to my younger daughter at ) to keep happy. Since my mother died unexpectedly during heart surgery, I dreamed constantly of people and situations from my past. The dreams are in my imagination to strange little "movie clips" fused, who just started to make sense, as I have fictionalized for my younger daughter. She loved my little stories always. With her question "What happens next?" She encouraged me to complete the story and continue writing. My daughter has always everything the printer has spit read, and was so excited that I kept going ... and it is a novel emerged.
I love the line "Come and find me two years ago." At that moment, you had grabbed me. How did you come to that?
So, this is a very personal story that will be told one day with a glass of champagne and chocolates ...
How much of your "real life" you take on writing your stories?
With every story that I write less and less. In my first book, portal, is a lot of "me." Large parts of me are reflected in Olivia, just to find parts in Arizona. Olivia is the way I was, after my mother had died.For me it was a moment that changed my life, because I've longed for a portal.
